Hi,
This should be easy, for some reason I can't remember how to do it.
I have in /lib a file called "joe_converter.rb" that I want to be able
to run from terminal. Here's the beginning of "joe_converter.rb":
**********************************************
require 'active_record'
# Takes in a URL, creates all needed objects, and ends up creating an
LqSnapshot for that URL
class JoeConverter
def self.do_the_conversion url, scores, user_id
**********************************************
How can I run this from terminal correctly? I tried with
"script/runner", and put in the necessary parameters, but I get back
this:
wrong number of arguments (0 for 5) (ArgumentError)
Anyone have any ideas about this?

I don't think you can do it using script/runner (I may be wrong).
You could run the script directly using ruby lib/joe_converter.rb, and
handle the parameters in your script. Your rails app wouldn't load in
this case. Another (probably preferred) option is to create a rake
task in lib/tasks that takes the parameters and calls
JoeConverter.do_the_conversion passing the parameters.
If you are accessing any other classes/modules of your rails app (like
any model for instance), go with the rake task as they would load as
well.
Someone else might have better ideas though ;)

Well, you have to play nice with the "rules" of the command line (like
no
spaces etc). Also note that whatever comes into your rake task is simply
a
string. You would have to parse that string and build any object you
need,
such as a hash or array...
Any code on how you're handling the params?
